Shinya Kimura, aboard his 1915 Indian, was spotted in the racers area before the beach pits were opened. Later we learned that Doug Feinsod, on his 1913 Thor, and John Szalay, on his 1915 Thor, were also in attendance. Cannonball veteran and Occhio Lungo blogster Pete Young was there as well, looking to race his 1916 Excelsior. Not only did these bikes (and riders) perform over long distances for 15 stages of the Cannonball, they also apparently like to get dirty and muddy.
